Australia’s oldest wine area, Hunter Valley, offers robust reds and crisp whites.

Australia’s oldest wine area, Hunter Valley, has 150 wineries, as well as award-winning dining establishments and stunning lodging. The Hunter Valley is now the largest wine area in New South Wales, having had its first grape vines planted there in the 1820s on its rich soil. As the quintessential Hunter Valley white, semillon is distinguished by its typical white profile, which combines sharp acidity, apple and citrus aromas, and strong yet refined flavors. The area is also well-known for its powerful and bold Shiraz, which is made from some of the oldest vines on the planet.

Save the date for Saturday, July 13, 2024, the 12th annual Hunter Valley Wine & Beer Festival, which will take place on the grounds of the charming Rydges Resort Hunter Valley.

Hunter Valley wine regions :

Hunter Valley is divided into three wine-growing regions: Pokolbin, Lovedale, and Broke-Fordwich. Owing to varying soil composition and microclimates, each of these places produces a distinctive wine and provides distinct cellar-door experiences.

Rome’s Trevi Fountain tour revamped: Book your spot for a 30-minute, no-crowd experience

Rome’s Trevi Fountain tour revamped: Book your spot for a 30-minute, no-crowd experience

Trevi Fountain traditions paused for tourists: Rome introduces elevated walkway for a unique viewing experience

Tourists in Rome won’t be allowed to toss coins over their shoulders into the Trevi Fountain, following tradition, though an elevated walkway now gives limited access to the monument during maintenance work.

Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri inaugurated the steel walkway on Saturday, saying it will provide tourists with a close-up view of the fountain and calling it a “unique experience” that won’t be ruined by overcrowding.

The walkway over the fountain’s basin will be able to accommodate about 130 people at a time.

But tourists won’t be allowed to toss coins from there, as the fountain is currently drained, and could face a 50-euro fine if they do, the mayor warned.

City lore has it that tossing a coin into the Baroque fountain will ensure a return trip to Rome.

Gualtieri said a small pool has been set up next to the walkway to collect the coins, which are donated to the Caritas charity to fund meals for people in need.

The walkway will remain until the end of the maintenance work, which is expected to finish by year’s end.

Rome city officials are devising a plan to block off the area around the fountain. Under the plan, visitors will be required to book online and pay 2 euros ($2.20). Once inside, they will have 30 minutes to enjoy the fountain.
